Castello di Celsa Wedding Cost

Castello di Celsa is a private estate that does not typically permit elopements, so Castello di Celsa wedding cost and access are handled through our exclusive planning arrangement.

We are the only agency granted special permission to plan intimate weddings here, giving couples a rare path into one of Tuscany’s most protected settings.

Our package manages the property’s logistics: securing access and running your day inside the historic walls.

That arrangement keeps the elopement private, orderly, and respectful of the castle’s heritage.

It includes exclusive planning, venue rental access, photography, hair and makeup, a celebrant, and personal florals for a weekday symbolic elopement for two. That figure is the starting Castello di Celsa elopement package price.

Can we bring guests?

Yes, while the package is designed for two, it can be adapted for a small group of up to 10 guests. Adding guests will increase the cost to cover additional coordination, catering, and rentals.

The base package includes a symbolic ceremony. A legally binding civil ceremony requires significant extra steps and paperwork, which we can manage as an optional add-on service. The castle’s chapel is consecrated for Catholic ceremonies, which is a separate planning process.

How far in advance should we book?

For a venue this exclusive, we recommend booking 12 to 18 months in advance, especially if you want a specific date. Because we are the only planners able to offer elopements here, availability is limited.

Why can we only book a Castello di Celsa elopement through you?

Castello di Celsa is a private home and does not market itself as a wedding venue for small events. The owners have entrusted us with exclusive permission to manage elopements on their property due to our careful, respectful approach to planning. This ensures the castle remains protected and your day remains private.
